Rockmelt: A Sharing/ Interactive Browser

Meet Rockmelt a new company offering an interactive style browsing experience. Rockmelt, just unveiled yesterday, is backed by Marc Andreessen the founder of Netscape. The Rockmelt browser is built around three platforms, friends, feed and search. The following excerpts are taken from "Rockmelt: A Browser Built For Sharing(First Hands On And 500 Exclusive Invites) posted in TechCrunch.com 11/7/2010 by  Eric Schonfeld  

"If you are going to create a new browser from scratch and go up against the Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Apple, you might as well make it really different. RockMelt, a company backed by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen which has been under wraps until today, is trying to build a new browsing experience from the ground up. Are they crazy? “The big thing,” says Andreessen, “is that the browser world is very much in flux right now.”

RockMelt is built first and foremost for sharing. You browse with your friends (the first thing you do is log into Facebook and your favorite friends and their latest status updates are always available along the left rail). And there is a big “Share” button up top, which lets you share any webpage, along with images and a preview, on Facebook. You could call it a Facebook browser, but it really is more than that."
